Abstract

A device for sorting litter, household refuse or the like in a container, a holder device or the like, and for disposing of the refuse separately. The device comprises at least two separably interconnected sack-like chambers which are formed from foil material and are interconnected in their upper regions such that they merge into a common region (2) in the manner of a pair of tights. A gusset (6, 7) is formed in each case between adjacent chambers (3,4).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
       1. A device for sorting of refuse and household garbage in a receptacle for separate disposal comprising: at least two sackshaped compartments made of walls of sheet material, said walls including, for each compartment, an external wall and an internal wall adjacent to the internal wall of the other compartment;   means for joining the compartments to each other so as to be separable, wherein the sackshaped compartments (3, 4) are joined to each other by a transition portion extending upward to a common upper area (2) and in the upper area (5) the adjacent internal walls each have an upper end defining a recess and an edge, only the internal walls being connected to each other along the edges of their upper ends at the recesses.   
     
     
       2. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the common area flares outward. 
     
     
       3. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the common area is circular in cross-section. 
     
     
       4. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a tear seam extends through the upper ends of the internal walls at their edges at the recesses. 
     
     
       5. A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the compartments are unattached below the edges of the upper ends of the internal walls.
